Sphere over Sells, AZ
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
As we drove on the highway heading west on highway 86 as I looked in review mirror I noticed a very large flying object almost moving in the same direction, It had lights like little windows, and was looking in my rear view mirror, I asked my passenger to look back, and he saw the same. It seemed to follow us for a bit, then as on coming traffic lights showed up it seemed to go black and was gone. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #135980). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
Ask for the records
What would the paper say?
For a dated, located U.S. sighting, FAA radar data and ATC communications are the records most likely to exist. Through Aletheca, the house instrument, anyone can commission the request — filed, chased, and published in the open, refusals included. The draft goes over already written: the records sought, and the date window they would live in.
